Recreational Spring Academy
The RAGE Recreational Youth Academy provides a unique learning environment for recreational players to develop fundamental soccer skills. The goal of this Academy is to foster a passion for soccer and a greater understanding of the game while building a solid foundation of basic skills and technique. This training will add in elements to prepare young players for upcoming competitive placement (tryouts) for the 2019 season. Players are welcome to attend whether or not they are planning on trying out for a competitive team. We are also adding goalkeeper training to our Recreational Spring Academy for players that are interested in receiving goalkeeper training from our competitive Goalkeeper Director, Brittney Cameron. Goalkeeper training is for players with 2008, 2007, 2006, and 2005 birth years.
The Recreational Youth Academy is open to all RECREATIONAL players with 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 birth years. This is a great way for players to continue improving throughout the spring months.

My experience at the National Camp by Katie Strong
Overall, I really enjoyed this camp. Getting to know a lot of players from all over the country, learning their style of play, and mindsets was amazing. I feel the challenging part of the camp was learning that we are all different types of players and adapting to their styles had to be quick in order to succeed during the camp.
I really enjoyed the environment and it was a blast to get different points of view based on the training sessions and the way things were broken down and focused on. The coaching was amazing and so was their style of play. I feel in the short time of this camp, I have developed more physically and mentally. My wish is to one day be playing on the USWNT and represent my country, family, and club. This was definitely an unforgettable experience, I will always cherish and strive to be back again and again.
